Excerpt from Notes on the High School Reader: And Biographical Sketches In presenting the complete annotation of the High School Reader, the author has to thank his fellow-teachers in the Public Schools, High Schools, and Collegiate Institutes for the cordial reception accorded to the pioneer volume of Notes on some of the selections, issued a few months ago; and he trusts that the now completed edition will be found as useful a preparation for the class-room as its predecessor has proved to be. As to the general plan followed in these Notes, little need be added to what was announced in that little brochure: - (1) It is not intended that the 'Notes' should be regarded as a substitute for careful instruction by the teacher, and still less for careful preparation by the pupil in each extract of the Reader. All that is aimed at is to put the student in possession of such information as will enable him to enter on an intelligent study of the passage under consideration; hence the annotator has carefully avoided the common practices of tabulating statements, and labeling, or libeling, the authors with cut and dried quotations of the opinions of the critics. He has not, however, consciously avoided the discussion of anything that seemed to him at all likely to cause serious difficulty to an ordinary student, nor has he adopted the easy plan of slurring over an obscurity by means of a question more easily asked than answered. (2) An effort has been made to present such Biographical Sketches, at least of the more important authors, as would inspire the student with a living interest in the subject of the sketch. Nothing is related of any author except such incidents as seemed to bear directly either on the formation of his character or of his style; and wherever it seemed advisable to guide the student to a fair estimate of his author, such clues have been thrown out as appeared most likely to answer the purpose.
